Background : In recent years, gonorrhea has been panedemic and remains one of the most commom STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. Objective & Methods: For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of PPNG, we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the VD Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by means of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. Results: In 1996, 139 strains of N. gonorrhoeae were isolated, among which 53(39.0%) were PPNG. Conclusion: Our results suggests that after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, the prevalence of PPNG in Seoul is gradually declining.

The objective of this study is to predict the high risk group of coronary artery disease from body mass index, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar and serum lipids level using the method of discriminant analysis. Variables with significant difference between coronary artery disease group and normal group were HDS-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, LDL-C, and TG. But the acuity did not exceed 70% in any single variable. As the results of discriminant analysis, statistically significant discriminant variables were HDL-C, T-chol, FBS and TG. The discriminant equation was(Y) = -0.06759(HDL-C) + 0.01498(T-chol),+0.01923(FBS) - 0.01421(TG) + 0.5187, and the overall discriminant power using the above 4 variables was 79.3%

ATM망의 가상경로상에서 Threshold를 이용한 효율적인 대역관리

김상철,고승일,고성택,김경식,김경연 濟州大學校 情報通信硏究所 1999 情報通信硏究所論文集 Vol.2 No.-

Effective bandwidth allocation is desirable to control the ATM traffic. It should provide high fairness and utilization for different kinds of services in call admission. Complete bandwidth sharing is efficient for utilization of bandwidth but not efficient for fairness of call admission. Complete bandwidth partitioning is efficient for fairness but not efficient for utilization. We propose a new CST(Complete Sharing with Threshold) algorithm using threshold in a VP to improve fairness and utilization. Using CST algorithm. the system performance is improved by 1.4% compared with the RSC(Reserved Sharing with Common pool) algorithm.

Kim, Kyung-Jun,Park, Sang-Hyuk,Choi, Kyoung-Kyu,Park, Sang-Jin 大韓齒科保存學會 2006 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.31 No.3

본 연구는 치수조직, 치은, 치주인대로부터 배양된 조직을 SP (Substance P)로 4시간, SP, CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)로 8시간 자극 후 RNase Protection Assay를 시행하고, IL-8의 분비량을 측정해 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1. IL-8 mRNA는 모든세포에서 발현됐다. 2. IL-8 mRNA 발현은 SP (10^(-5)M)와 SP (10^(-8)M)로 4시간 자극 시 증가되지 않았다. 3. IL-8 mRNA 발현은 SP (10^(-4)M)와 CGRP (10^(-6)M)로 8시간 자극 시 증가되지 않았다. 4. TNF-α (2 ng/㎖) 자극 시, IL-8 mRNA 발현이 증가됐다. 5. 치은 세포를 CGRP (10^(-6)M)로 8시간 자극 시, IL-8 분비량이 증가했다 (p < 0.05). 6. 치주인대 세포를 SP (10^(-4)M)로 8시간 자극 시 IL-8 분비량이 증가했다 (p < 0.05). We investigated the secretion of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) from ginviva and periodontal ligament stimulated with Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP). Gingiva (GF), periodontal ligament (PDLF) and pulp (PF) tissues were collected from extracted instact 3rd molars. Cultured cells were stimulated with different concentrations of SP for 4 hrs, and stimulated with SP, CGRP and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) for 8 hrs. Then RNase Protection Assay was carried out. ELISA was performed using supernatants of stimulated cells for quantitative analysis of IL-8. Results were assessed using supernatants of stimulated cells for quantitative analysis of IL-8. Results were assessed using student t-test with significance of P < 0.05. According to this study, the results were as follows: 1. IL-8 mRNA was detected in all type of cells studied (PF, GF and PDLF). 2. IL-8 mRNA expression was not increased after stimulating 4 hrs with SP (10^(-5)M) and SP (10^(-8)M) compared with Mock stimulation in all type of cells studied. 3. IL-8 mRNA expression was not increased after stimulating 8 hrs with SP (10^(-4)M) and CGRP (10^(-6)M) compared with Mock stimulation in all type of cells studied. 4. TNF-α (2 ng/㎖) increased the expression of IL-8 mRNA in all kind of cells studied. 5. The secretion of IL-8 from GF was increased 8 hrs after the stimulation with CGRP (10^(-6)M) (p < 0.05). 6. The secretion of IL-8 from PDLF was increased 8 hrs after the stimulation with SP (10^(-4)M) (p < 0.05). Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP) increased Interleukin-8 (IL-8) which plays an important role in chemotaxis of neutrophil in Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP) gingival tissue, whereas Substance P increased the secretion of IL-8 from periodontal ligament.

당뇨병 환자에서 혈장 Thrombin-Antithrombin Ⅲ 및 Plasmin-α_2-Plasmin Inhibitor 복합체의 임상적 의의

김경욱,김은숙,정상수,윤수지,박우일,이준희,남수연,안철우,문병수,김경래,차봉수,송영득,임승길,이현철,허갑범 대한당뇨병학회 2002 Diabetes and Metabolism Journal Vol.25 No.5

연구배경:당뇨병 환자에서 혈액응고 및 섬유소용해 체계의 이상경향이 있어 그 결과로 여러 혈관합병증의 발생위험이 높다는 사실은 널리 알려져 있다. 그 기전은 아직 확실히 밝혀지지 않았으나, 고혈당으로 인한 혈장 단백질들의 비효소성 당화작용이나 산화성 스트레스로 인한 유리 라티칼 작용으로 응고항진이나 섬유소용해 활성의 저하를 유발하는 것으로 생각되고 있다. 최근 응고 및 용해인자와 그 억제자의 복합체들의 증가가 이 상태를 비교적 예민하게 반영한다고 알려져 있다. 방법:본 연구에서는 당뇨병 환자 101명과 정상 대조군 20명에서 혈장내 thrombin­antithrombin complex(TAT)와 plasmin­α₂­plasmin inhibitor complex(PIC)를 측정하여 비교하고, 당뇨병 환자에서 미세혈관 합병증과 대혈관합병증의 유무에 따른 차이와, 이미 혈관 질환의 위험인자로 알려져 있는 인자들간의 상관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 결과:1. 환자의 분포를 살펴보면 혈관합병증이 있는 군은 85명, 혈관합병증이 없는 군은 16명이었고, 평균연령은 각각 57.9±14.1세, 49.9±16.6세로 혈관 합병증이 있는 군에서 더 나이가 많았고, 체질량지수는 23.2±3.4㎏/㎡, 24.1±3.4㎏/㎡로 두 군간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 또 두 군간의 혈압 및 HbA1c, 공복혈당 및 인슐린과 C­peptide, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, HDL­콜레스테롤, Lp⒜는 유의한 차이가 없었고, 미세혈관합병증이 있는 군에서 당뇨병의 유병기간이 길었다. 2. TAT 및 PIC의 농도는 정상 대조군에서는 2.8±1.2 ng/mL, 240.4±69.7 ng/mL이었고, 당뇨병 환자군에서는 9.5±22.6 ng/mL, 472.2±258.7 ng/mL이었다. TAT와 PIC 모두 당뇨병 환자군에서 정상 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있었고(p<0.001), TAT/PIC ratio는 두 군간 차이가 없었다. 3. 당뇨병 환자의 혈관합병증에 따른 TAT 및 PIC, fibrinogen 농도는 합병증이 없는 군은 각각 4.1±2.4ng/mL, 362.2±272.0ng/mL, 322.7±102.4mg/mL으로 PIC와 fibrinogen의 증가를 보였으나, 연령을 보정한 후에는 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 또 대혈관 합병증군에서는 각각 6.0±4.9 ng/mL, 507.4±321.6 ng/mL, 427.1±194.7 mg/dL이었으며 미세·대혈관 합병증군에서는 10.4±6.4 ng/mL, 484.8±269.7 ng/mL, 388.4±132.4 mg/dL으로 TAT의 증가를 보였으나 역시 연령을 보정한 후에는 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 4. 미세혈관합병증군에서 HbA1c(>8%)가 높은 군의 PIC 농도가 유의하게 높았고(p=0.049), 대혈관합병증군에서 HbA1c(>8%)가 높은 군의 총 콜레스테롤 농도가 유의하게 높았다(p=0.042). 5. 총 당뇨병 환자군에서 PIC는 fibrinogen과 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를, BMI와 음의 상관관계를 보였으며(r=0.47, 0.31,-0.25), 혈관 합병증이 없는 당뇨병 환자군에서만 TAT는 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.67). 결론:이상의 결과에서 혈장 TAT 및 PIC 농도는 당뇨병 환자에서 정상 대조군에 비해 의미있게 증가되어 있었고, 당뇨병 환자군에서는 연령의 증가와 유병기간이 혈액응고항진 및 용해의 장애에 큰 역할을 함을 알 수 있었으며, 총 당뇨병 환자군에 PIC와 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를, BMI와 음의 상관관계를 보였으며 혈관 합병증이 없는 당뇨병 환자군에서만 TAT는 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 당뇨병 환자에서 혈액응고 및 용해의 장애가 동반되어 있다고 볼 수 있으며, 혈장 TAT 및 PIC는 혈관합병증으로의 진행을 예측하는 지표로서 유용하리라 생각된다. 또 혈당조절정도와 상관성이 있으므로 혈당조절후에 추적검사를 시행하여 합병증의 예방이 가능한지 추후 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다. Background : Abnormality of coagulation and fibrinolystic system is known as a predisposing factor of vascular complication in diabetes. Although the pathogenesis is not well known, non-enzymatic glycation reaction and the increase in production of free radicals due to an increased oxidative stress may be linked to the hypercoagulibility and hypofibrinolytic activity. As indices of abnormality in coagulation and firinolysis in peripheral blood, plasma thrombin-antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT) and plasmin-α_2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) were measured. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether hypercoagulability exists in diabetic patients with or without vascular complication. Methods : In our study, we measured plasma thrombin-antithrombin Ⅲ compelx (TAT) and plasmin-α_2-plasmin inhibit or complex (PIC) in 101 diabetic subjects and 20 controls. Comparing TAT and PIC levels in diabetic microvascular complication group, diabetic macrovascular complication group and controls, we examined correlation between risk factors associated with diabetic vascular complication. Results : 1. The group with diabetic vascular complication was older than group without complication. There was no significant difference in BMI, blood pressure, HbA_ic, blood sugar level, insulin, C-peptide, serum creatinine, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, Lp (a) between two groups. The group with diabetic microvascular complication had longer duration of diabetes. 2. Concentration of TAT and PIC were 2.8±1.2 ng/ mL, 240.4±69.7 ng/ mL in controls and 9.5±22.6 ng/ mL, 472.2±258.7 ng/ mL in diabetic patients, respectively. TAT and PIC were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in control (p<0.001). But TAT/PIC ratio was no significant difference between two groups. 3. In diabetic patients, concentration of TAT and PIC and fibrinogen were respectively 4.1±2.4 ng/ mL, 362.2±272.0 ng/ mL, 322.7±102.4 mg/ dL in group without vascular complication and 5.3±4.1 ng/ mL, 529.5±258.7 ng/ mL, 374.9±106.2 mg/ dL in group with microvascular complication, which group had increase in PIC and Fibrinogen but no significance after correction of age. Concentration of TAT and PIC and Fibrinogen were 60.±4.9 ng/ mL, 507.4±321.6 ng/ mL, 427.1±194.7 mg/ dL in macrovascular complication, and 10.4±6.7 mg/ mL, 484.8±269.7 ng/ mL, 388.4±132.4 mg/ dL in combined vascular complication which group showed increase of TAT but also had no significant increase after correction of age. 4. In diabetic microvascular complication patients, group of high HbA_1c (>8%) (p=0.049) had significant high PIC concentration. In diabetic macrovascular complication patients, group of high HbA_1c (>8%) (p=0.042) had significant high total cholesterol concentration. 5. In all diabetic patients, PIC was positively correlated with fibrinogen and HbA_1c and negatively correlated BMI (r=0.47, 0.31, -0.25). Only in daibetic patients without angiopathy, TAT was positively correlated with HbA_1c (r=0.67). Conclusion : In this study, plasma TAT and PIC concentration significantly increased in diabetic patients compared with controls, and PIC was increased in group with microvascular complication, TAT were increased in group with combined micro macrovascular complication. However, there was no significance relationship existed when correctinf for age. PIC was correlated with HbA_1c. TAT was correlated with HbA_1c only in the group without angiopathy. Abnormality of coagulation and fibrinolysis were combined in diabetes, plasma TAT and PIC can be used as an index of vascular complication. Also we found the correlation with the degree of the blood glucose control. Therefore we need follow up study for the possibility of prevention of vascular complication after controlling the blood glucose to age-matched patients (J Kor Diaabetes Asso 25:354~363, 2001).

김은경,김영표,천병옥,이계영,김연정,임백빈,조영욱,김창주,김성수 대한스포츠의학회 1999 대한스포츠의학회지 Vol.17 No.1

To investigate the effect and mechanism of caffeine on endurance exercise, two experiments were performed. First, to test caffeine effect on aerobic exercise, 200-300g Sprague-Dawley rats were used and three groups, control group, low caffeine injection group and high caffeine injection group, were divided. Blood smpling by heart puncture were done at rest, after 30 min treadmill exercise, and after maximal exercise. Blood glucose, free fatty acid concentration were detected and following results were obtained. Glucose concentration showed significant difference between groups(p=0.0305) and also significant changes were exhibited between time(p=0.0004). Free fatty acid concentration had no difference between groups. but had significance between times(p=0.00065). Exercise endurance performance time showed significant difference(p=0.02350 in high caffeine injection group compared to control group. In this experiments, endurance exercise capacity was increased by caffeine injection. Therefore, second experiment was performed to investigate the effect of caffeine on ion current induced inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter. GABA and glycine. Single periaqueductal gray neuron was acutely dissociated and nystatin perforated patch clamp was performed under voltage clamping condition. Caffeine evoked outward current in PAG neuron dose dependent manner. 1mM of caffeine application had no response. but 3mM caffeine evoked about 32.5±8.539pA outward ion current and 10mM caffeine evoked about 215.46±19.4pA outward current. 10^-2mM GABA activated Cl￣current and recorded by inward current. Caffeine inhibited GABA activated Cl￣ current concentration dependent manner. 10^-2mM of caffeine had no effect on 1-^-2mM of GABA response. but 10^-1mM caffeine inhibited GABA activated Cl￣ current about 5.74±2.13%, 1mM caffeine inhibited about 17.25±2.70%, 10mM caffeine inhibited GABA response about 45.31±7.71%. 10^-1mM of glycine activated Cl￣ current and also recorded by inward current. Caffeine inhibited glycine activated Cl￣ current concentration dependent manner. 10^-2mM caffeine decreased glycine activated Cl￣ current about 4.61±1.650%, 10^-1mM caffeine decreased about 6.49±2.24%, 1mM caffeine decreased about 26.82±4.27%, and 10mM caffeine decreased glycine response about 94.47±1.39%. These results suggest that caffeine inhibite inhibitory amino acid, GABA and glycine, this response causes excitation of CNS and this seems to be the basic mechanism of increasing effect to aerobic exercise performance by caffeine.

특수교육 정보화 체제 구축 방안 연구

김종무,강경숙,강대식,Kim-Sung, Kellie K. 국립특수교육원 2001 연구보고서 Vol.- No.8

본 연구는 특수교육 정보화 관련 국내 · 외 문헌자료와 사례를 소개하고, 국내 특수교육정보화 실태 조사를 실시하여 첫째, 기초 통계자료를 확보하고 둘째, 효율적이면서도 실제적인 정보화체제 구축방안을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 그동안 국내에서 광범위하게 추진되었던 교육정보화 사업에 있어서 전체 학교 학내망 설치와 같은 가시적인 정보화기반 구축 사업에 대해서는 전반적으로 성공적이라는 평가를하고 있지만 특정 수요 집단에게는 정보격차의 심화 및 접근성 문제의 심각성 등 부정적인 결과를 초래하기도 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내·외 특수교육 정보화 사례와 자료를 소개하고, 국내 특수교육정보화 실태를 파악하기 위한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 대상은 특수학교 교사, 학생, 장애학생 부모, 장애인관련 단체 및 기관, 시 · 도교육청이었고, 조사 결과 특수학교 교사의 경우 컴퓨터 보유, 인터넷 사용 등에 있어서는 매우 양호하게 나타났으나 정보 활용기술에 해당하는 영역 즉, 장애학생을 교수하기 위한 자료의 제작과 교수-학습과정에서의 적용 수준에서는 저조하게 나타났다. 비장애학생과 비교할 수는 없지만 장애학생의 컴퓨터보유와 인터넷 사용 유 ·무에 관해서는 40~60%의 응답자가 긍정적으로 응답하였고 체계적인 지원이 수반된다면 좋은 결과가 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 정보화 지원 체제 구축 방안으로 크게 예산지원과 행정지원을 포함하여 특수학교, 교사, 학부모, 장애학생, 행정가, 장애인관련 기관 등의 요소로 구분하여 지원 방안을 제시하였다. 소개된 지원내용을 간략히 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 특수교육정보화 체제 구축을 위한 예산 지원은 외국의 사례에서도 나타났듯이 안정성과 지속성을 확보하기 위하여 '초·중등교육법', '특수교육진흥법'을 통해 지원에 관한 세부 사항을 법으로 규정해야한다. 둘째, 특수교육 정보화 사업과 관련된 부처간 행정 협조체제의 수립과 사업 중복성 등을 피하기 위하여 전담기구나 기관의 지정이 요구된다. 셋째, 특수학교의 경우, 학내망 설치와 더불어 장애인 접근성 문제의 해결을 위한 프로그램 개발과 하드웨어 장비의 지원, 교실간 네트워크 구축, 학교간 WAN 구축 등의 사업이 추진되어야 하며, 특수학급의 경우는 정보화 환경구축이 미흡하기 때문에 소속 교육청 과의 네트워크 구축을 통한 정보공유 및 행정업무의 연계가 필요하고, 다양한 교수-학습자료의 지원이 절실히 요구된다. 넷째, 특수교육 교사의 연수 기회를 확대하고 전문성을 키워줄 수 있는 연수내용과 방법의 개선이 필요하다. 장애학생 교육을 위한 학습자료 제작 기법, 장애인용 프로그램 사용법, 특수단말 장비 및 정보매체 활용 기법 등의 프로그램을 개발하여 집체+원격+화상 형태의 입체적인 연수가 요구된다. 다섯째, 장애학생 부모를 위한 정보화 지원은 학교-교육청간 협력하에 부모 교육 프로그램을 개발하여 우선, 학교와 인근 지역의 장애인관련 기관을 활용하여 정보소양 교육을 실시하고, 언제, 어디서나 교육이 가능한 원격이나 사이버시스템 등을 매개로 부모의 여건을 배려해줄 수 있는 편리한 교육방법이 준비되어야 한다. 여섯째, 교육청별 특수교육 담당장학사의 정보화 수준은 양호한 것으로 평가되지만 특수교육 정보화를 위한 특수학교(급) 교사의 연수지원을 위한 예산규모의 확보나 프로그램 개발 지원 등은 매우 부족한 것으로 나타났는데, 교육부(국립특수교육원)를 중심으로 전체 교육청의 특수교육 정보화 업무를 단일 체제로 묶는 인프라를 구축하여 예산, 프로그램, 네트워크 등을 공유토록 하여 효율성을 확보해야 한다. 일곱째, 장애인관련 단체는 정보화 업무 담당자를 배치하여 장애인과 일반인을 대상으로 활발한 정보화 교육이 이루어지고 있었지만 재정지원이 아직도 부족하고, 장애인용 프로그램과 기기의 보급이 부족하여 한계가 있는 것으로 드러났는데, 마찬가지로 장애인관련 기관을 하나로 묶는 인프라의 구축을 통해 사용되는 프로그램을 표준화시키고 예산지원의 중복성을 피해야하며 기관 이용자에 대한 관리의 편리성도 함께 도모해야 할 것이다. This study intends to collect baseline data and to present effective and practical methods of establishing special education IT system. An extensive review of both domestic and foreign literature and case studies of best practices were conducted for this research as well as the evaluation of the current state of technology usage and adoption in special education in Korea. Previous nationwide educational technology projects have accomplished notable and successful results such as building Intranet for schools. However, such efforts have, in away, created and aggravated the disproportionate gap, often called as the digital divide, against certain groups of people with unique needs. Also, the accessibility to such technology and information has emerged as a serious problem as the role of technology expanded. This study introduced both domestic and foreign examples of technology in special education and relevant resources, and conducted a large-scale survey to examine the current stage of technology adoption and usage in special education in Korea. The survey was administered to special education teachers, students, parents of students with disabilities, disability-related organizations and relevant agencies, and to municipal and provincial department of education. The results found satisfactory levels of computer ownership and usage of Internet among special education teachers. However, utilizing and incorporating such Information and technology into classroom activities and into teaching material development were still limited. Although the data were not comparable to those from students without disabilities, about 40 to 60 percent of the respondents showed positive attitudes toward computer ownership and Internet usage of students with disabilities, suggesting desirable outcomes with appropriate systematic support. Based on the findings, this study recommended detailed methods of building broad financial or budgetary assistance systems for special education schools, teachers, parents, students, administrators, and disability-related organizations. First, as shown in the experiences of foreign countries, financial support from the government to establish the system for the special education information technology has to be mandated under the 'Elementary and Secondary Education Act', the 'Special Education Promotion Act' to ensure and enhance stability and continuity. Second, designation of a single commanding and responsible agency is called for to efficiently coordinate inter-agency collaboration among governmental agencies and departments, and to avoid redundancy of work. Third, for special education schools, tasks such as building school-wide Intranet, development of software solving accessibility issues, subsidizing funds for computer hardware purchase, connecting classrooms through networking system and establishing inter-school WAN are of critical importance. Fourth, the contents and methods of professional development and training for special education teachers should be improved to professionalize teachers, and expansion of such opportunities are also called for. Fifth, IT support for parents of students with disabilities is also important. Parent education and training programs should be developed through active collaboration between local department of education and schools, and such training programs may be offered at schools or disability-related facilities. Distance learning or online courses, which the parents can access regardless of time or location, are other feasible alternatives. Sixth, the results found that administrative staffs of special education at each local department of education displayed satisfactory competence levels. However, the amount of budget assigned for special education teacher training or program development was seriously insufficient. Therefore, the Ministry of Education (or KISE) should build a universal infrastructure of IT, which encompasses and shares budget, program and network systems across all the IT offices of the local department of education. Seventh, although most disability organizations have IT specialist and offered IT education programs for both persons with and without disabilities, they have been experiencing continued problems of insufficient financial support and lack of adaptive technology devices and accessible programs. Therefore, building a universal infrastructure across disability organizations is called for to standardize programs, to prevent overlaps in funding, and thus, to enhance administrative efficiency.

성미경,승정자,류화춘,박재년,박동연,최미경,조경옥,최선혜,이윤신,김유경,이은주 대한지역사회영양학회 2003 대한지역사회영양학회지 Vol.8 No.4

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education program developed for nutritionally imbalanced adolescents. A summer nutrition camp was held for 23 overweight and 16 underweight subjects. Its effectiveness with regard to was evaluated at the end of the camp and 6 months later. Nutrition knowledge, nutritional attitude, food behavior, nutrient intake, exercise habit and ideal body figures desired by the subjects. The results showed significantly higher nutrition knowledge scores at the end of the camp as compared to those obtained prior to the camp program, and these scores were maintained for at least six months. Nutrition attitude scores also improved after the education program, and these improved scores also lasted for 6 months. However, the food behavior scores measured 6 months after the education program were not significantly different from those obtained prior to the camp. Also, the exercise habit, the ideal body figures and the body figures desired by the subjects remained unchanged. When nutrient intakes of subjects were assessed before the program and 6 months later, the mean daily vitamin C intake was significantly increased after the education program. Also, the intake of iron from plant food sources increased in the overweight subjects, while less iron from animal source were consumed by the underweight subjects. Both groups tended to consume more vegetables and fruits 6 months after the education program which may have contribute to the higher vitamin C and plant-based iron intakes. These results indicate that a 4-day nutrition education camp program sustained changes in nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude for 6 months. The increased intake of vegetables and fruits was also achieved through this education program. However, changes in dietary behavior in adolescents may require repeated education.
